GASTAT started to publish flash estimates for GDP on a quarterly basis starting from the third quarter of 2020 to provide real-time information about the Saudi economy.
The authority defines flash estimates of the quarterly GDP as an estimation of the quarterly GDP during a short period after the end of the reference quarter when the data related to the quarter is still incomplete.
